My name is Natasha Burke and I am the Aboriginal Literacy and English Skills Development Teacher (ESD) for the WestShore Sooke Learning Centre. We are located in the beautiful Sooke Child, Youth and Family Building on Wadams Way. Our team is here to help you and provide you with the support you need! This year I will be onsite on Mondays to provide academic, cultural and linguistic support for our students. Last year, we had a number of Role Models visit our classroom and share their knowledge with us. As we start the new school year we are excited to be inviting and working with our Role Models once again! We would like to wish all of our families and students a safe and happy school year. Upcoming events will be posted on this page or you can check out our website **www.westshoreabed.weebly.com** or simply follow the link from Westshore Centre website.
